What is the least "WASP" city in the United States?

People of all origins going along with it, or at least its contemporary incarnation. (Don't get me wrong, I am not saying it's Plymouth Mass. in 1642.)

For someone from a place where lapsed Latin Catholicism exists in a purer form and is fairly dominant, it's fascinating to see the WASP-influenced (relative) conservatism of, say, Italian-Americans in NE on social matters like booze, dress, etc.

Multiply that by 100 when you compare it to a place like present-day Italy.

This is pretty spot-on. The New England Catholic Irish in particular essentially supplanted the English as the region's WASP elite by the 1890s. We may all be Catholic/catholic/Cathnostic, but preppy New England (white) culture is as WASP-y as it gets - at least on the coast. Inland is a bit different. Vermont isn't fully "New England" in this regard.

Utah has far more English Protestants than Mass or CT do, but Coastal New England is still way more WASP-y.

As for the least WASP-y metro in the country, it's gotta be Honolulu or San Juan, no?
